Thread: Franks Shaving Strop?

Hi All,
Having had a Franks Shaving finest badger brush for a while and finding it very nice, I noticed that Ian Tang is now producing strops.
FS #3 100% Leather Stright Razor Sharpening Strop Strap Belt Double Side | eBay
If they are of comparable quality to the brushes I'd be interested.
Does anyone have any experience with these strops?
If so, how do they perform?

I wouldnt touch it, but the ad makes for some interesting reading.

Well not tried one ( I get mine from here : Leather Hanging Strops )
I have the burgundy 3 " Big Daddy - which is working well . Just ordered the 2 1/2 black latigo and 2 1/2 Big Mama chestnut for back up (can"t beat the prices and the quality , I find stands up ) .

I would say the Franks one for $20 with shipping , may be decent enough to get one started. At least if you nicked it , you wouldn"t feel too bad .

Cheers,

Scott

Hmmmm... you know, I don't know. But seeing that no one has any idea I nominate you to purchase one, use it, review it, and tell us about it.

I might just do that when I get a job - I was considering it anyway.
Thanks Maxi

I have decided to take up Maxi's challenge and have ordered this strop.
Watch this space for more when it arrives.

I am not allowed to buy any more gear for a while, so I will live vicariously through threads like this.
